RIGAMAJIG – Review and Giveaway

Rigamajig was developed in 2011 by Cas Holman for Friends of the High Line in collaboration with early learning educators, woodworkers, and children. It was launched in New York City’s High Line Park as the High Line Children’s Workyard Kit and reflects the park’s industrial history, simple, honest materiality, and the organization’s dedication to creating meaningful play opportunities for children and families.

Rigamajig Jr. is a wonderful collection of wooden planks, shapes, wheels, a pulley, ropes, nuts, and bolts. Valued at $350 and coming with 160 pieces, it’s 1/2” thick Baltic Birch Planks range from 6” – 22” make it large enough to make things to play inside of, but small and light enough to play on a table top. The quality is top notch and would stand up to even the roughest of builders/players. It arrives in a nicely made, durable canvas bag that is perfect for storage and neat freaks like us.

We love the open ended opportunities of this product. It allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. These are all important components of healthy brain development. It offered ample opportunities for our children and our preschool children to problem solve and collaborate.

OUR PRESCHOOL CHILDREN FIGURING IT ALL OUT

We highly recommend this building kit! This is on of the best products we’ve ever reviewed. You should definitely bring Rigamajig into your home – especially if you have children who love to build and construct. Please check out their WEB SITE and FACEBOOK page for more.

This would be a fantastic activity for all ages of my grandchildren. The 7&8 year olds can take the leadership role for the 3-5 year olds! They can make something new each time they come to my house. This would add to my points as a grandma th have this to play with at my home.

Wow! What incredible learning opportunity for children. I would love the chance to see my grandchildren and students in my class create and invent with these tools. Play is powerful. Thank you for sharing.

My 6 and 3 year olds would LOVE this! They’re currently making due with dollar store jump ropes, left over wood, and anything else they can find around the house or at the park. This would give them so many more options and I wouldn’t mind having it inside!

I have a 6 & 9yo that would love to play with this. I can see my 6yo spending so much time with this toy. He is a natural builder, it would be great fun to see what he would come up with. I also work with 3-5yos that I would introduce it to as well.

Love this! Suitable for all ages. My 2 year old, 5 year old, and even my 35 year old husband will love this! He is always looking for fun things to do with the girls, and this is definitely one he will enjoy together with the girls!

I would love to explore this with my almost 4 year old daughter. We love open ended toys that allow her to tap into all the STEM skills. As a special education teacher at the elementary level, I could also use this with my students. They enjoy hands on learning and being creators.

My almost 5 year old and my 2 year old would go crazy for this. The hours of imaginative play it would create would be amazing! And I’m sure their newborn little sister would also enjoy this a lot one day. I’m all for encouraging this type of play in little girls who would traditionally be left out.

I would love to have these for my 6 year old daughter and her friends! I also teach 4 year olds so it would be amazing to have a different method of building/creating/problem solving available for them.
